CONNECTING THE DOTS

NINE YEAR NIGHTMARE IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ MUST STOP

Each
day, after listening to the news or reading a newspaper, I am sickened at the consummate
insanity of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.It’s sheer, unadulterated lunacy to continue those two wars—after nine
years! It’s incredible that our country
sinks into $12 trillion in debt, horrific infrastructure degradation and
complete lack of leadership.

I
thought after the duplicity, stupidity and immorality of the Vietnam War that
killed 53,200 Americans and several million Vietnamese, and poisoned their
country with Agent Orange and bombs, we would never again engage in such madness.Nonetheless, the “Great Silent Majority”
stood by to watch their kids die—for nothing!History proved that!

Yet,
it’s beyond my logical understanding at how stupid our leaders, former
President Bush, and now, Barack Obama—prove themselves.Bush attacked with no idea of what he
perpetrated on an entire society.He
created 2.5 million refugees.He
destroyed their infrastructure.He killed
hundreds of thousands in Iraq and Afghanistan.

What
does he have to show for it?Nothing but
human misery for theirs and ours!Yet,
he lives in a million dollar mansion in Dallas!He’s too stupid to understand what he
wrought on humanity or too immoral.

Obama
received the Nobel Peace Prize. The entire world wants us out of the Middle
East and the Nobel must have given him a hint.But no, he added another 30,000 of our kids to go kill another 30,000 of
their kids.

What
will he have to show for it?In the end,
more human misery and suffering on both sides!

In
the current issue of Newsweek Magazine, “The gang that couldn’t shoot straight”
by Miller, Hosenball and Moreau, readers gained an understanding of just how
futile, hopeless and completely deranged we are as we meddle in another third
world country’s business.

We
spent $6 billion to train 170,000 Afghan police.“Only 30,000 remain on the force…”We are
still at zero,” said Captain Moqim. “They don’t listen, are undisciplined, and
will never be real policemen.”

We
wage war on a country, like Afghanistan, without one single jet plane,
helicopter or tank.Most Afghans grow
crops, milk goats, herd sheep and live like they did 1,000 years ago.They’re ancient Muslims with no idea of
Western sophistication, governance or customs.They practice their own!

“Roughly
15 percent of recruits test positive for drugs, few know how to use a
toothbrush or drive a car, and 90 percent are illiterate,” said Newsweek
writers.

The
irony of that figure on illiteracy: no form of democracy can survive
illiteracy.

We
have not accomplished anything other than death for the past nine years in Iraq
and Afghanistan.It’s disgusting,
sickening and humanly obscene to kill that many people and cause THAT much
misery, and pretend we have done ‘good’ in that country.

Jefferson,
Franklin and Washington proved infinitely more intelligent than Bush or
Obama.Washington said it best, “No
country can be trusted beyond its own self-interests. Habitual friendship
toward a foreign country is as dangerous as habitual enmity. The policy of America should be trade with
all, but entangling alliances with
nobody. The quarrels and vendettas in other parts of the world are not
our business. All countries should be treated equal, with no favors granted to any of them.”

"I
have always given it as my decided opinion that no nation has a right to
intermeddle in the internal concerns of another; that everyone has a right to
form and adopt whatever government they liked best to live under themselves;
and that if this country could, consistently with its engagements, maintain a
strict neutrality and thereby preserve peace, it was bound to do so by motives
of policy, interest, and every other consideration. -
George
Washington, from Letter to
James
Monroe, August 25,1796.

But
here we stand in 2010, mired in an endless war, endless death, endless expense—and
no end in sight. At the same time, the American people offer up their kids to
be chewed up by IEDs, suicides and complete breakdown via emotional
trauma.Over 175,000 to 200,000 U.S. combat
troops committed suicide after Vietnam.We do not understand the human toll and suicides growing in our country
from these current two wars.

Last
week, a friend of mine talked about how a 24 year old kid in hishometown, came back from one tour in Iraq and
one in Afghanistan, and two weeks ago, shoved a pistol into his mouth and ended
his life.That will happen thousands, if
not tens of thousands of times in the coming years.

The
“War on Terror” remains a standing joke as our borders remain open, available
and unguarded.We have injected millions
of Islamic immigrants and potential suicide bombers into our country.I swear the U.S. Congress and the last
president and now today, this president, possess scrambled eggs for brains.And the American people, even less for
electing those guys.
